How the hell do you fail Claptrap's birthday? Do you do everything Clappy tells you to (i.e. Blow into a party whistle, eat pizza)?

If you havent already do all of the things clap trap tells you to do during the party.

You're supposed to celebrate, dude!

Eat pizza, chat with the guests... well, chat with Claptrap.

eat pizza, party favour, music, talk with claptrap.

Have you tried exiting to the menu (or even exiting the game completely), reloading your character and trying again? Sometimes that fixes mission glitches. Otherwise, you may have to play with someone else hosting that has not done that mission yet in that playthrough, and complete the mission with them. FWIW, here's an old 2K support article about it. It doesn't say any more about the problem, but at least it confirms that it is a known issue.

Had the same little issue. Reloaded as " Waste " stated above...worked fine.

By this point, you may have tried it already, but have you tried just doing it solo?

Also, have you tried making sure the host is the one carrying out the deeds? There were four of us in one friend's game recently, and we managed to fail it somehow. One of us was not at the party site, but the rest of us were - maybe that's a thing, making sure all the vault hunters are there?

The host wasn't doing all the stuff herself, though, so we began to suspect that might have been the thing, especially once I did it shortly after by myself, just doing all the things I did when I was in her game.
